a little choked up, and making her favorite when it wasn't her birthday? She suspected her mom knew what had become of her and she was upset. Tears pricked Selena's eyes. She didn't want to upset her mom, and she had really thought they would be mad at her, not saddened and she had come to terms with it. She had to remind herself if they did know, this all had to be a shock to them. But she was what she was, and she couldn't do anything differently now. Who had let it slip? Maybe one of Daniel's friends.
"Sure, that would be great. Everyone loves your Italian sausage spaghetti."
"Would noon be all right?"
"Is that Selena?" her father asked in the background.
"Yes, the kids are all coming home today for lunch," her mom called back to him.
"Noon would be fine, Mom. I've got to go," Selena said.
"We'll look forward to seeing you all then."
They ended the call and now Selena was all choked up. Her sister and brother hadn't been, so she just figured her parents wouldn't be. It was just something that had happened, and they had to deal with it. Then she texted her brother and sister about the lunch date and when she finished, Atreides swooped in, swept her into his arms, and transported her to his bed.
Now that was the way she liked to be welcomed home by her mate.
"I'm having lunch with my family at noon. But I'm taking a nap with you for now."
"To tell your mother and father you were turned?"
"Yeah." She curled up in Atreides's arms, but he was removing her clothes and he was already naked, just like she liked him. “I think my parents already know."
"I wouldn't be surprised if they had heard the news via the grapevine. Word spreads fast when things go wrong."
"I think things turned out right for us. Even though some of the stuff I'm dealing with is disorienting, being with you and making new friends, even with the huntress turned vampires on the fringe, is a good thing. I love you, Atreides."
"I love you, my huntress and vampiress in one beautiful, sexy package." Then she was naked, and he leaned her back and his fingers sought her nubbin, but she really loved it when he sucked on her neck and made her come.
She didn't know if the feeling would always be that intense and would give her an insta-orgasm practically, or if it was just because he'd worked her up so much before that and then the experience was so new that it crashed over her before she was even ready for it. And she'd felt wonderful, like a million bucks.
"You are insatiable." But he didn't start biting and sucking right away, as if he knew he had to work her up to it. He was a consummate lover and she adored him for it.
He began to kiss her lips, running his hand over her breast with gusto, and moving his arousal against her leg in a way that showed her he had been ready to make love to her for some time. Here she'd been talking and talking, making him wait. His heart rate was kicking up and so was hers. Maybe that was what he needed. To hear her heartbeat thumping in her chest, to make him crave her blood to such a degree he couldn't hold back. Or not.
Still, it made her own blood pulse like crazy and she could hear his too as he continued to assault her mouth with punishing kisses, alternating with gentle kisses. Their tongues were at it again, long strokes, invasions, touching teeth, and she felt his had already descended, and hers had too, and now she was thinking hers were even a little longer than before. But she might be mistaken. She realized she wanted adult vampire teeth, if she was going to have them at all. They might as well be just as long and wicked as the other vampires’ fangs were.
Then he was sweeping his hand down her belly, but she was baring her throat, ready for him to bite her neck first. To give her the orgasm that way. Was she boring or what?
But she couldn't knock a good thing. Then she reached down to stroke his cock, but he wouldn't let her and moved so he could continue to glide along her leg, his fingers working their magic on her feminine nub. She concentrated on that, until he leaned down and suckled
